Do I need to bring my own file for Subject 4?

You do not need to bring your file for the Subject 4 exam. Candidates only need to bring their original ID card to the test center. The Subject 4 exam consists of 50 questions, primarily in the form of case studies, images, and animations. The total score is 100, with a passing score of 90. Subject 4, also known as the Subject 4 theory test or driver's theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. After the implementation of the Ministry of Public Security's Order No. 123, the Subject 3 test was divided into two parts: the road test and an additional safety and civilization knowledge test, commonly referred to as 'Subject 4,' which evaluates 'driving ethics.' Since this test is conducted after Subject 3, it is commonly called the Subject 4 exam, although officially, there is no such term as Subject 4. If you fail Subject 4, you do not need to retake the previously passed subjects (Subject 1, Subject 2, Subject 3). You can schedule a retake on your own without paying a retake fee. There are no scheduling restrictions, but the validity period of the driving skill test permit is three years. If the applicant does not complete the test within the validity period, the passed subject scores will become invalid.

When I was taking the Subject 4 test, I also thought I needed to bring my own file. However, the driving school instructor said there was no need to worry about it. The driving test records are directly transferred and sealed by the driving school to the DMV after passing Subject 3. On the exam day, all you need to bring is your ID card. Once you pass the test, the records are directly used for making the license, as everything is connected online. During my Subject 4 test, I saw some students running over with their file folders, only to be smilingly turned away by the proctors and told to return them to the driving school staff. For special cases like retakes, the driving school will notify you in advance if you need to bring any materials yourself. With the increasing prevalence of electronic office work, paper records are now mostly managed by the driving school throughout the entire process.

Just accompanied my cousin to complete the Subject 4 test a couple of days ago, and there's no need to handle the files personally at all. Nowadays, the driver's license examination is fully digitalized, with scores from Subject 1 to Subject 3 all recorded in the system. On the test day, you only need to bring your ID card for facial recognition entry. The driving school has already coordinated all file matters with the DMV in advance. Before our driving school students take Subject 4, the instructors always send group reminders: ID cards and power banks are allowed, but never touch the files! Unless you fail and need to retake the test, the driving school will resubmit your files. If you pass normally, the files directly enter the license-making process, and the driver's license will be mailed to the address filled in during registration.

I got my driver's license last year, and didn't need to worry about the files for Subject 4 at all. The file bag was collected and sealed by the examiner right after signing for Subject 3, and I couldn't even touch it during the whole process. The test center has a dedicated archive room for unified management, you just need to bring your ID card and enter by facial recognition. Remember to eat some chocolate before the test to stay alert, as there are many tricky questions, especially must-test items like braking distance on rainy days. When you pass and sign for confirmation, the system will automatically record your score into the file, and you can get your driver's license on the spot after waiting for half an hour.

For the Subject 4 exam, you indeed don't need to bring your own file, as this is clearly stipulated by the vehicle management office. Throughout the entire driver's license examination process, only the initial registration and physical examination require submitting paper materials; everything afterward is handled electronically. On the exam day, remember to wear the same clothes as in your registration photo, as there is a facial recognition step. Once, I saw a candidate who had to retake their photo because they had cut their hair short, which delayed them by half an hour. If you really need to transfer your file, such as for taking the exam in a different location, the driving school will have staff accompany you to handle the procedure. Individuals are not allowed to open the file bag privately.

The easiest part of getting a driver's license is Subject 4. You don't even need to bring a bag. Your file is locked in the DMV's iron cabinet once you pass Subject 3. Just bring your ID card to take the test. Our test center also provides temporary lockers for phones, which is very convenient. It's recommended to arrive half an hour early to familiarize yourself with the environment. The water dispenser is located at the corner of the second floor. After passing the exam, your file goes directly into the license-making system. Remember to double-check the mailing address. A friend of mine had their license sent to their hometown due to a wrong address, delaying it by a week.
